The Zoom Boom was the term for the 1989 Lift King forklift with very long reach, 4 wheel steer and drive, and militarized. The model was the LK833 IIRC. These were the model when I was still in the service. Around 2003-2005 they were sent back to Lift King and upgraded to a model 935 and are still referred to in the military as a zoom boom. Some components remained the same, but there were a lot of improvements. For instance, the master cylinder (which was always problematic and replacements were rarely a direct fit) was omitted and the brake system now runs off the hydraulic system. The old M series lamps were also replaced with the new style LED M-series lighting.

The LK833 were (or are) in the US military system. While we will eventually adopt the US NSN if the parts are identical, many items, especially on these smaller fleets, can get missed.

During my first contract as a civilian in Afghanistan, I ran a section of half a dozen guys maintaining the forklifts in theater, the bulk of which were LiftKings. The 935s kept us fairly busy and were showing their true age.

Ah, the old Zoom Boom.... If its the 2 CER one, I spent many many hours at the helm of it cir. 1998. Does so many things it sounds like an infomercial for the "Slap Chop", like 100 Sappers rolled into a compact machine Great heater too....

Problem with those spare parts is the vehicles were not released. In fact, they don't technically exist anymore since they were converted to another model.

There are likely some of those model on civvy street, but I think they are far and few between.
